9FGL0841BKILFT Descripción general
A clock generator is a semiconductor device that produces one or more precise reference timing signals used to synchronize data transfers between digital subsystems. Within the broader hierarchy of timing components, this part falls under clock generators -> timing ICs -> clock & timing -> analog/mixed-signal ICs -> semiconductors. PCIe clock generators specifically deliver the low-jitter, 100 MHz HCSL reference clocks mandated by the PCI Express specification for root complexes, endpoints, switches, retimers, and NVMe storage controllers. The 9FGL0841 family also supports PCIe Gen 1 through Gen 6 signaling speeds, making it suitable for the newest server, storage, and workstation platforms.
Key specifications include 3.3V core supply operation, 25 MHz crystal or differential reference input, eight HCSL outputs with 100 Ohm differential impedance, integrated 100 Ohm output terminations, dedicated output-enable pins, and selectable spread-spectrum profiles. Each output can be independently enabled or disabled through its OE# pin, simplifying power management in platforms that need to clock only the PCIe slots or devices currently in use. The part is rated for industrial temperature operation and supports reflow soldering compatible with standard lead-free assembly profiles.
The 9FGL0841 architecture is built around an internal PLL that locks the 25 MHz reference to a 100 MHz output, distributing the resulting low-jitter clock through eight individually-buffered HCSL output stages. Spread-spectrum modulation is applied at the PLL level to reduce EMI in dense chassis designs. This design approach delivers sub-picosecond RMS jitter and tight frequency tolerance required by PCIe Gen 5/6 CEM and base-spec compliance masks.
Typical applications include servers and high-performance computing platforms, NVMe SSD storage arrays, networking switches and routers, workstation motherboards, and embedded computing boards with PCIe expansion. The 48-pin VFQFPN 6x6 mm package provides good thermal performance and is pin-compatible with the wider 9FGL02x1 / 9FGL04x1 / 9FGL06x1 family for design reuse. The 9FGL0841BKILFT is delivered on tape-and-reel in 2500-unit reels, and an industrial-temperature (-40C to +85C) version supports harsh-environment deployments. Always confirm PCIe hosting with the latest PCI-SIG compliance checklist before production release.
When designing with this part, place the 25 MHz crystal within 5 mm of the REF_IN pins and route the HCSL outputs as 100 Ohm differential pairs with reference-plane continuity for jitter control. Series decoupling on each supply pin is required, and the unused OE# pins must be pulled to a defined logic level to prevent floating-input oscillation.

Aplicaciones típicas
9FGL0841BKILFT es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: Server and High-Performance Computing Platforms, NVMe SSD Storage Arrays, Networking Switches and Routers, Workstation Motherboards, Embedded Computing Boards with PCIe Expansion, Test and Measurement Instrumentation.
Server and High-Performance Computing Platforms
The 9FGL0841BKILFT delivers eight 100 MHz HCSL reference clocks mandated by PCIe base spec for server CPUs, PCHPUs, and PCIe slots. Its eight independently-controlled OE# pins let the platform turn off clocks to unpopulated slots, reducing platform power. With sub-picosecond RMS jitter and PCIe Gen 1-5 compliance, the part meets Gen 5 CEM jitter masks used in mainstream dual-socket and single-socket server motherboards.
Recomendado
NVMe SSD Storage Arrays
NVMe controllers and PCIe switches in SSD enclosures need multiple 100 MHz HCSL reference clocks with CLKREQ# support. The 9FGL0841BKILFT provides eight HCSL outputs, each with a dedicated OE# pin implementing PCIe CLKREQ#, so individual drives can be power-gated. Industrial temperature rating (-40C to +85C) suits dense NVMe array chassis where ambient temperatures can rise significantly under sustained workloads.
Recomendado
Networking Switches and Routers
Networking line cards with multiple PCIe-facing ASICs require clean 100 MHz reference clocks with low jitter to support high-speed SerDes. The 9FGL0841BKILFT's HCSL outputs at 100 MHz with 100 Ohm differential impedance match PCIe ODD for SerDes reference inputs. Spread-spectrum modulation reduces EMI in dense multi-line-card chassis where multiple clock sources could otherwise create beat-frequency interference.
Recomendado
Workstation Motherboards
High-end workstation boards targeting Gen 4/5 PCIe slots, multi-GPU configurations, and NVMe M.2 arrays benefit from the 9FGL0841BKILFT's eight 100 MHz HCSL outputs. Each output supports independent CLKREQ# power management so unused slots can be clock-gated. The 48-VFQFPN 6x6 mm footprint fits standard workstation board layouts and shares pinout with the wider 9FGL family for design reuse.
Recomendado
Embedded Computing Boards with PCIe Expansion
Industrial single-board computers and COM Express modules often expose one or two PCIe x1/x4 links to carrier boards. The 9FGL0841BKILFT supplies eight low-jitter 100 MHz HCSL clocks from a single 3.3V rail, simplifying power-tree design. The industrial -40C to +85C temperature range supports harsh-environment deployments such as factory automation, transportation, and outdoor edge-compute installations.
Recomendado
Test and Measurement Instrumentation
PCIe-based protocol analyzers, compliance test cards, and BERT equipment need clean 100 MHz reference clocks that match the device under test. The 9FGL0841BKILFT provides eight matched HCSL outputs from one 25 MHz reference, ensuring channel-to-channel skew stays within tight PCIe jitter budgets. Spread spectrum can be disabled for compliance testing where a pure tone is required for accurate jitter decomposition.

Notas de diseño
Route each HCSL output as a 100 Ohm differential pair with continuous reference plane below the trace. Keep trace length matching within 5 mils (0.13 mm) between the positive and negative legs of each pair to preserve duty cycle. Series-resistor placement right at the driver pin (typically 33 Ohm each leg) helps damp reflections and meets PCIe base-spec impedance profiles.
Decouple each VDD pin with a 0.1 uF X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of the pin, plus a bulk 10 uF tantalum or ceramic capacitor on the 3.3V rail. Separate analog and digital ground planes are not required for this device but keep the exposed thermal pad soldered to a continuous ground pour for thermal dissipation.
Always tie unused OE# pins to a defined logic level (either pulled high through 10 kOhm or left to the platform controller) - floating OE# inputs can cause output oscillation and excess power consumption. When spread spectrum is enabled, disable it for PCIe compliance testing where a pure tone is required for accurate jitter decomposition.
